Midland Industries S-560-SP2 Steel Crimp Ferrule 0.56in Id

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES S-560-SP2 is a light-duty steel crimp hose ferrule used to terminate and secure hose assemblies in fluid transfer and hydraulic applications. Constructed from low carbon 1008 steel with a hardness rating of 30-55 on the Rockwell scale, this ferrule provides consistent compression when crimped over hose ends. The inner diameter measures 0.56 inches and the overall length is 0.75 inches, making it suited for smaller-diameter hose lines. The mounting hole diameter is 0.375 inches and the metal wall thickness is 0.02 inches. Installation is performed using a standard hose crimping tool to achieve a reliable, leak-resistant connection.

This ferrule is used in residential and light commercial plumbing, HVAC, and fluid handling systems where low-pressure hose termination is required. It fits applications involving rubber or flexible hose assemblies that require a crimped end fitting rather than a clamp-style connection. Plumbers, pipefitters, and hose assembly technicians typically use this part when fabricating or repairing hose lines in tool, equipment, or supply-line service. Its light-duty classification makes it appropriate for non-extreme-pressure environments where a compact, low-profile ferrule is the specified solution.

Key Features

• Low carbon 1008 steel construction for consistent crimping without cracking or splitting
• Inner diameter of 0.56 inches fits standard small-bore hose assemblies
• 0.75 inch length provides adequate coverage for secure crimp termination
• Metal wall thickness of 0.02 inches keeps ferrule profile compact and lightweight
• Hardness of 30-55 Rockwell scale ensures deformation under crimp without excessive spring-back
• Light-duty classification suitable for low-pressure fluid transfer applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style crimp ferrule for light-duty hose fitting assemblies requiring a 0.56 inch inner diameter and 0.75 inch length ferrule in steel construction.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a calibrated hose crimping tool sized to the appropriate die set for this ferrule diameter. Depressurize and drain any hose line completely before disassembling existing connections. Follow the crimping tool manufacturer's die specifications to achieve the correct finished diameter without over-crimping, which can cause cracking in the ferrule wall. This type of fitting work is typically performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters and should comply with applicable local plumbing or fluid system codes.
